Spock: By our parents' arrangement, a ceremony while we were but seven years of age... less than a marriage, but more than a betrothal. One touches one another in order to feel each others thoughts. In this way, our minds were linked together so at the proper time... we would both be drawn to Koon-ut-kal-if-fee.

(The chimes from the marriage party get louder and Spock rings the gong again. Just then a caravan of Vulcans arrive with an elder Vulcan lady in a sedan chair being carried in and T'Pring walks in behind the sedan chair)
